If you
or someone you know was a young caregiver (provided hands-on care for a parent
or adult relative), then you might be interested in the following book by my
colleagues and I on caregiver research across the lifespan including chapters
on both child and adolescent caregivers.†
I have also published a number of articles on early caregiver
experiences and the effects on adult development.† Please contact me at kshifren@towson.edu if you would like a
